I haven't been out since after the cold snap but from reports the bite is back on about everywhere. I'll be out myself this week or this weekend.

Hey wolfhunter,
I appreciated your report on the other thread, you had a string of pretty good days at the end of Oct. But what is the talk about double-digit days? A double-digit is 10 or more, presumably one person. I wouldn't have brought it up but you've used that expression a couple of times so I'm thinking you've been back and did even better?

Kevin

well u guessed it right, many fished hooked up to 20 a day with a poor land ratio. :smile: ) usually land around 11-13 fish, averaging around 14 hook ups with 9 landed. small tippets like 3x and 4x are the keys to hooking many fish with the cold water.
